King County Metro bus driver Dennis Echols, 61, was fired from his job
after he beat up 23-year old passenger Ethan McKinney for spitting on
him. Echols had reached the end of his route and had been trying to
rouse McKinney when the confrontation between the two turned violent,
leading to Echols striking McKinney with a eight pound rubber wheel
block and then hitting him repeatedly after pinning him against a bench.
Echols and McKinney were both later charged with fourth degree assault.
